Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1305

Elysia’s smile was bright and gentle.

“Well then, stop looking so glum, let’s go get some lunch.”

“Yeah. Have Evan and Bernard made it back yet?”

“Nope. Those two are always like this—out early, back late. Walter’s around though, and Quincy, he—”

Before Elysia could finish, a shout rang out behind her.

“Daddy! Mommy!”

Tarquin and Elysia stopped and turned just in time to see Emmett barreling toward them, face beaming with excitement.

“Daddy! Mommy!” he yelled again, practically bouncing.

He was over the moon, absolutely thrilled.

Elysia grinned and swept him up into her arms, planting a quick kiss on his cheek.

“What’s got you in such a good mood, Emmett? Something special happen?”

Emmett proudly pulled out a pin from his pocket. “Look, Mom! Quincy gave this to me.”

The pin was simple, a little old-fashioned—just a small piece of metal with a star stamped on it. Nothing fancy, no intricate designs or vibrant colors.

Some might say it was just an old badge, a relic really, but the tiny words etched under the star were anything but ordinary:

First President of the Artistry Alliance

Elysia’s eyes widened as she glanced over at Quincy.

Thanks to Winona Newsom, she’d picked up a thing or two about the art and fashion scene. The first generation of the Artistry Alliance carried serious weight. It was founded by the legends—the real deal, true masters of their craft. The current President was still one of those original members, way past retirement age but holding the fort until a worthy successor could be found.

Being President of the Artistry Alliance was like being the head of the Medical & Pharmaceutical Association—practically the highest honor in the field. And the first President? That was the stuff of legend, the best of the best.

Elysia always knew Quincy was talented, but she never realized just how extraordinary he was—he’d actually been the very first President!
